Comment on: Blog Post '"It's a recruiter's JOB to deal with candidates and put up with shit"....Really…': iters to lash out at the vast majority of candidates who are very appreciative of our work. But, as far as 'mere facts' go, it is definitely a bummer. I read that article, too, and my first thought about the author was "So you think you are talented enough to merit my attention? Don't you know that co-dependence is a mental illness that is your own fault?" Still, that article was interesting, since it reflects a viewpoint of some candidates. Yet, factually, it's the candidates' responsibility to be aware of his/her own existential freedom, and an agent of his/her own future. The whole point of identifying the psychological pathology of Co-dependence itself was to remove blame or stigma from the 'other' party in the relationship. Co-dependence is a fault only of ourselves. We cannot blame anyone else for that -- that is the whole point of inventing a name for a 'condition' which is less than optimal. However, realistically, I don't think that Recruiters tend to be co-dependent with candidates, if they have learned the fundamentals of the business. I'm never professionally dependent on a candidate, because I can almost always find another to replace them. On the other hand, the odds are stacked heavily against a candidate being able to find another Recruiter who also happens to have a great career opportunity for them (probably by a factor of about 8 to 1, according to some statistics I have read). There is very little doubt that anyone who has the mentality that a recruiter 'stands between' a candidate and his/her profession is a fragile individual who is probably a failure. Recruiters wouldn't even exist if they didn't provide a legitimate and very valuable service. Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" has an excellent retort to this malaise of blaming others: "There's Man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet." That should be the Dictionary definition of "Co-dependence". …; Added by Nicholas Meyler at 12:55am on June 13, 2014
